"Insecta animalia esse perfecta." I can see the authors are civilized people.

Where can I buy a copy of the latin one?

I do agree that universities should be at the forefront of change, and there are some things done, but it's really lacking. Individually, for many academics, the possibility to travel a lot is a key perk of the trade. My current project involves driving 15000km per year...

Honestly, at this point I'd be satisfied with ground beef not being cheaper than tofu. It should be 10x the price, if not for all the subsidies and retail sector both not paying meat producers enough and having like a 40% profit margin for vegan products.

Well, I was trying to. + a vision of transformative change with less work and more fun, but while living in a closet, eating tofu and termites.

Joy needs to be restored to life too. Less rat race and more slow paced, low carbon, enjoyable stuff.

I'd rather not be, tbh. It's true that there are many energy savings achievable also in the information infrastructure. Ubiquitous action is needed.

Unfortunately we share atmosphere, water systems and land. We can't afford to respect meat loving any longer.

Yes, it is often offered as a solution. The global economy is based on gambling, you need to learn how to gamble. The threat of violence is unavoidable, you need to learn how to defend yourself and spend 3.5% of your gdp on weapons.

Ei akateemisessa rottarallissa ole aikaa sivistää itseään.

Human cognition is not a very complex thing, just a 50watt potato, and being too smart for your own good is not selected for in evolution. Interstellar distances are pretty large, though.

I've concluded, that strength training reduces running injuries simply by reducing mileage, both by taking time slots and by making your muscles hurt in a way running never does.

Nah, international men's day is for remembering that the hardships of all groups of people, including men, are caused by men.
